Are you sure about Gary Peters? He was the American League Roookie of the Year in 1963.

If he was on the '59 roster, then I've surely learned something today. Peters and Mike Hershberger were my favorite Sox players in the early to mid 60's.

GO GO SOX!

Yes, he just had a "cuppa coffee" with the Sox in '59 (as well as in the next three seasons) before staying for good in '63.

I always associate Gary Peters with Joel Horlen on that good pitching staff of the mid-'60s. Juan Pizarro, Tommy John, John Buzhardt, Bob Locker, et al. That '67 club came very, very close.

Also, when I think of those Sox teams of the mid-'60s, I picture Pete Ward stepping out of the batter's box, blowing on his hands to keep them warm. . . .

Let's see, who else? Don Buford, Tommie Agee, Al Weis, Ken Berry, Bobby Knoop, Buddy Bradford. . . .
